Chapter 2193 The third child, you must learn to show off your wealth!
Zhu Cixiang, a rebellious son who could be educated, finally left Wansheng Palace with a lot of worries... And Zhu Youjian, who watched him leave, was certainly in a good mood!
But this comfort did not all come from the education of Nizi, but also from Nizi's money! He knew that he finally no longer had to worry about the lack of money.
He really has a hard life without money! Let’s not talk about his previous life... He will be rich in this life, right? His financial income has reached more than 60 million!
But who knows, even if you spend more, you will still be short of money. In two lifetimes, you have been short of money for more than a hundred years. This is really bullying. But now it’s better. The traitor has a way to make money. The traitor’s biggest skill is to make money.
Money! Zhu Youjian knew this very well, because Zhu Youjian had learned all the other skills of Nizi in his previous life, and he was even better than his old master. However, Zhu Youjian had only scratched the surface of Nizi's ability to make money.
Zhu Youjian's methods of making money are nothing more than two, one is to confiscate homes; the other is to collect taxes. Therefore, under his leadership, Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue has stopped at the order of 60 million.
Moreover, Zhu Youjian never knew what "loss-making" was, so the imperial concubine Wanhu Orduo he created all lost money, and the Ming Dynasty military household Qianhu Office he established also basically lost money, and those he sealed
Most of Xunzhuang is also operating poorly.
Those projects that lose money need to be fully subsidized by the Ming court. However, the profitable Xunzhuang and Qianhusuo will not pay a penny of profits to the court...
Therefore, the greater Chongzhen's colonial expansion, the greater his financial problems. Without Zhu Cihong to back him up, sooner or later he would have to follow the old path of Renxuan's rule.
Isn't his life's work the territory he conquered? If he gave up every last piece of it, wouldn't he be so angry that he would vomit blood?
Now that the money problem has finally been solved and the territory has been secured, he is naturally in a good mood.
At this moment, Wang Chengen, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, hurriedly walked in and saluted: "Long live Lord, His Royal Highness Prince Ning has arrived."
Ning Wang Zhu Cijiong has been busy relocating the town during this period, which is to move his feudal households from Xuanzhuang outside the border wall of Xuanfu and Yanshan Mountain to North Korea.
Zhu Youjian had already forced the North Korean king to "donate" a large area of land in the coastal areas of Jeolla Province and the southern part of Gyeongsang Province to Zhu Cijiong as Xunzhuang - Zhu Youjian still had a reason, saying that Zhu Cijiong would guard the border for North Korea. Moreover.
The "sovereignty" of these lands still belongs to North Korea, but was only granted to Zhu Cijiong.
Moreover, Zhu Youjian also promised the King of Korea that once the Japanese problem was resolved, Zhu Cijiong would move away from southern Korea and the land he occupied would be returned to the Kingdom of Korea.
Under Emperor Chongzhen's repeated assurances, the King of Korea finally reluctantly agreed.
Of course, it doesn't really make any difference whether he agrees or not.
Because these lands were originally in the hands of the Korean aid army commanded by Li Xin...
However, although the land was in the hands of the Ming army, it was still very difficult to move all of Zhu Cijiong's eighteen thousand households.
The biggest difficulty is not spending money, but the reluctance of those settled military households to leave!
If the famine in Chongzhen seventeen years ago had not been so severe, these people would still be working for the landlords in their hometowns in Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi!
Now that they finally have enough to eat, they are asked to go to the Korean Peninsula to become "samurai"... Isn't this a torment?
Fortunately, these people are military households, governed not by civil law but by military law! Moreover, there are officials at all levels (all Zhu Cijiong's retainers) who are pressing them to force them to leave Xunzhuang and go to the distant Korean Peninsula.
migrate.
However, Zhu Youjian was still worried that trouble would occur to Prince Ning's 18,000 households during the relocation process, so he ordered Zhu Cijiong to personally lead troops to "escort" them.
Of course, 18,000 households cannot be transported in one trip, but there are nearly 100,000 people! If we complete the journey in one trip, there will be no ships to transport it to Tianjin!
Therefore, the Beiyang Navy of the Royal Navy formulated a plan for Zhu Cijiong to relocate in nine phases, with 2,000 households being relocated each time. Because he had to visit Shuntianfu during the migration, Zhu Cijiong would go home every time he passed by Beijing. During this period,
, he went back to Beijing to stay for a while because he passed by Shuntianfu on his way back from North Korea.
He does not have a special palace in Beijing, but lives outside Dong'anmen, in the Ten Prince's Palace in Jinyu Hutong (named Ten Prince's Palace), and lives with a group of princes over ten years old who can serve in the Youth Guard Corps - Zhu You
Jian had many sons, but their pay was not high and they had to receive an almost harsh education. Except for Zhu Cihong, the other princes could no longer live in the palace when they reached the age of ten and had to move to the Tenth Prince's Mansion. And they would also
He joined the Young Guards and received a rigorous military education. Compared with them, Zhu Cixi's teenage years, accompanied by twelve golden hairpins, were so happy that they were rotten to the point of decay.
And Zhu Cijiong, the future emperor, lived in the Ten Princes' Palace for four full years. He lived a frugal, strict, and intense study life every day. He didn't even know what luxury was? What was showing off wealth?
...
"Showing off wealth means deliberately showing off extravagance... It means deliberately spending money to make others think you are rich! Third brother, do you understand? You are a prince, so you have spent money lavishly, right?"
In Wansheng Palace, Zhu Youjian, the irresponsible father, is teaching his son how to show off his wealth - it’s not possible without teaching, this boy doesn’t know how! He was born in an emperor’s family, but he doesn’t know how to show off his wealth or spend money indiscriminately.
Money is so miserable!
However, Zhu Cijiong did not study hard, and with an innocent expression on his face, he said to his father who was teaching him earnestly: "What? I spend money lavishly? How is this possible? Father, you are talking about the boss, right? He has a lot of money.
I have no money...and even if I have a little money, I have to save some money!"
"Why don't you have any money?" Zhu Youjian frowned, "I remembered to give you pocket money! I have one month..."
"There are only ten taels of silver!" Zhu Cijiong stretched out his two palms and shook them in front of Zhu Youjian, pouting, "I don't even dare to spend it. Once I spend it, it will be gone."
"Ten taels of silver... is not a lot!" Zhu Youjian said, "The boss only had this amount before he moved to Duanben Palace. He has never cried about poverty with me. Even if he moved in
Duan Bengong didn’t get much money.”
"Father!" Zhu Cijiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The boss has a soft life. Eleven of his twelve golden hairpins are very rich, so the boss has never been short of money since he was a child!"
"Really?" Zhu Youjian thought for a while and then said, "The second brother has never cried about being poor... He doesn't have soft food to eat, right?"
Zhu Cijiong said: "Father, the second son is not short of money. His mother will give him money. The eldest concubine is rich! She is much richer than my mother..."
What? Is Concubine Wuliangha very rich? Zhu Youjian said heartily: Why don’t I know? Every time she sees me, she cries about poverty...
Zhu Youjian waved his hand, "Don't mention me, now I'm teaching you to spend money randomly... You must learn it. Only after you learn it can you go to Japan to show off your wealth! You have to let your emperor's wife and
Even the poor samurai in Japan think you have plenty of money!"
"But how do you learn this?" Zhu Cijiong looked at his father, and then asked with a smile: "Father, do you want to give me a large sum of money so that I can spend it randomly? Although this matter is a bit difficult.
, but I will definitely work hard and make sure to learn!"
What a studious child!
"This..." Zhu Youjian was stumped by Prince Zhu's question. He thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "I will not give you money to spend randomly!"
Zhu Cijiong spread his hands and said: "Father, I will not show off my wealth. None of my sons have ever been rich!"
That’s right, you have to practice showing off your wealth! You’ve never been rich, so how can you show off?
Zhu Youjian thought for a while and felt that his son's words made sense, so he said: "Then I will give you an edict. You quickly go to Duanben Palace to find the boss and ask him to teach you how to show off your wealth. He is the best at showing off your wealth."
...I will give you a month, and you must learn to show off your wealth no matter what!"
